A HONEYMOON in the Lake District fol­ lowed the wedding of: Kirsty Hamer and Jon IjAy ill.


TTnfe bride, a key account manager, is the


FOLLOWIN G a blessing during morning service a t Whitewell church, last month,, cyclists Ju d i th Robinson, Godfrey M e t - . calfe and Nick Millward received a warm j send off from parishioners and friends a t the s ta r t of the second leg of their journey from Land’s End to John O’Groats. ; ’ “Team Whitewell,” accompanied by three :


. cycling friends, headed off to Slaidbum for the hill climb over Tatham Fell and continued via High Bentham to Kirkby Lonsdale for a lunch •


stop at Devil’s Bridge, where they were rained on for the first time during the journey. Condi­ tions imp'roved as they.cycled north through. Tebay and Shap, and over Shap Fell to spend the night at Edenhall near Penrith.


The next leg was a daunting 90-mile route from Penrith to Melrose via Langholme, Haw-


• ick and Selkirk, completed in a time of six hours 45 minutes, which provided the confi­ dence to tackle the following day’s stage of 113


miles from Melrose to Pitlochry. • All went well until the three cyclists reached


Edinburgh, where the lack of signposts made the Forth road bridge difficult to find and two, punctures slowed the group down after the cycle track to it was eventually located. A fur­ ther handicap was that the cycle track over the left-hand side of the bridge was closed for repairs, causing an unwelcome detour.. Finally free of the city, team Whitewell


headed upwards through Dunfermline and Perth for a buffeting in \vind and rain along the long stretch of the A9 to Pitlochry youth hos­ tel, where the back-up team-provided a very/ welcome meal after the cyclists’ eight hours on the saddles mth a respectable average speed of 14.1 miles per hour.


^ After a hard day, some relief was gained by a


shorter journey over the Drumochter Pass to Aviemore. This was achieved thanks to the cycle track running alongside the busy A9, pro­ viding continual interest and stunning panora­ mas, though some wet weather was experi- enced on the descent to Dalwhinnie. The team was joined in Aviemore by Ribble


- . ^


Valley cyclist Humph Johnson, whose input provided further encouragement to complete, the final two legs of the epic journey. • Reaching Inverness via Tomatin, heavy rain ■ was encountered as the party descended to Kessock Bridge, though a sighting of dolphins in the Beauly Krth made up for the discom­ fort. After passing through the Black Isle a . causeway across the Cromarty Firth led to - Invergordon and Tain, the site of the Glen- morangie distillery, and on to another'cause- way spanning the Dornoch F ir th, which proved arduous to cross in a fierce headwind. Arriving at a bed and breakfast just north


of Dornoch, the group enjoyed views of Loch Fleet after covering 79 miles a t an average speed of 14.2 miles per hour, the best day’s per­ formance so far. Team Whitewell reached the climax of the


journey on June 20th, rounding the shores of Loch Fleet to reach Golspie, Brora and Helms- dale assisted at last by a south-westerly Mnd. The next objective, Wick, lay beyond a notorious series of steep hills known as the


Berriedale Braes. Descending to the beginning of these record­ ed the journey’s highest speed of 49-m.p.h. , ; which was drastically reduced on starting the


climb. f - However the route north of Wick proved to


' be the final test as the wind swung round to blow from the north-east, making progress to, John O’Groats painfully slow.


: ^ Freewheeling down to the final John


O’Groats signpost, the team was cheered home by the support team, relatives and friends after finishing the 956-mile challenge. ■ Despite a celebration photo shoot, the


cyclists felt unable to rest until they had visit­ ed the lighthouse a t Duncansby Head and retraced their route to John O’Groats youth hostel., .
